THE Bendigo Pioneers are well represented in this weekend's squads for the Young Guns vs Victoria Country under-18 clash.

The Young Guns squad features Pioneers' captain Harvey Gallagher and Oscar Faulkhead, while the Victoria Country team includes fellow Pioneers' Max Dow, Michael Kiraly, Jason Gilbee and Harley Reid.

The game will be played at Carlton's IKON Park from 1.30pm on Sunday.

The Young Guns team has been selected by AFL recruiters ahead of the AFL mid-season rookie draft on June 1.

Meanwhile, fellow Pioneer Nyawi Moore has been picked in the Fitzroy Cubs squad that will play Carlton's VFL team, also at IKON Park on Sunday.

The Fitzroy Cubs program has been introduced with the purpose of showcasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and culturally-diverse talent.

"We believe this program will provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and culturally-diverse young people a new pathway into elite football competitions," national talent diversity manager Paul Vandenbergh said.
